Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS)

The TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is a multiple-choice test that evaluates
the following skills: math, science, reading, and English. The objectives assessed
on the TEAS exam are those which nurse educators deemed most appropriate and relevant
to measure entry level skills and abilities of nursing program applicants. This test
is now being used in nursing programs across the country. Previous versions of the
test results will not be accepted.

CCSU is offering the TEAS test to students interested in applying to the Nursing major
who:
